    Has anyone found out if the new OLED model will support VRR? (Variable Refresh Rate)

    VRR with LFC should be possible on this 90Hz display, and I can’t think of a place where VRR would be more beneficial than on Deck because sticking to your framecaps is more difficult when your performance is limited and variable.

    I’m not talking about the ability to switch refresh rates manually.

      I would be surprised. From what I understand, VRR, by definition, holds the image longer, and on OLEDs when the framerate is low, it can cause ‘pixel overcharging’, which looks terrible, especially in darker gray areas of the screen.

        Do you mean that this overcharge happens when both the framerate and the refresh rate are low on OLED? Because I would imagine that even with a low framerate, say 10 FPS on a 60Hz screen, the pixels are still being… well… refreshed.

        As I understand it, Low Framerate Compensation would prevent the situation you are describing above by using multiples of the FPS to fall within a refresh rate window. i.e. At 10 FPS the image would be refreshed to match 30Hz, at 27 FPS 54Hz, at 45 FPS 90Hz etc. etc.

        And on a fixed refresh rate OLED monitor, say 60Hz, the pixels are still being refreshed no matter the framerate.

        I’m not saying I’m right, this is just as I understood it. Can you please point me in the direction of where I could find out more about your explanation? Doesn’t have to be a link, just the name of the site / creator will do and then I’ll look it up.
